how to install boost controller-7mgte

[i<3chicken]

hey everyone, the guy i bought my supra rigged up some sort of boost controller...i didn't like it so i bought an actual one. lol. can anyone tell me how to hook it up correctly??? i can post engine bay pics and what not. but can i get a detailed install instruction? THANKS!

What brand of controller is the first thing we need to know. Also is it an electronic or a manual one? All you have to do for an electronic one is go onto the manufacturer's website. Also if you got one new then it came with instructions.

umm...its an ebay one. i will post pic of it in a sec. it is a manual one tho.

That one is a bleed off style valve. Hook one side of the T to one port on the knob unit, then hook one side of the T up to the boost source and the other side to the wastegate.. Leave the other port on the controller open. Good luck, these types of controllers cause bad spikes and not very accurate control

Devin- Thanks! that helped a lot. lol. well i wont really be able to see how it works yet seeing as how my turbo is hella shot...

 

[91Supra313]

+1 Devin. Those things are garbage. I would have spent the extra cash and got a reliable one.

91supra-i got it for free so...its better than the rusted sink tubing thats on there now. haha

 

[Devin LeBlanc]

I have never used a better boost controller than a hallman, reliable, simple, great holding capabilities, and affordable
for a good quality unit. If you want better go Apexi AVCR

[Devin LeBlanc]

Search why Blow off valves vented to the atmosphere will not work on stock ECU setup.

well thanks for the help it's already on there. it helps make the car driveable now. i have it turned down as low as it will go and i can actually drive it easier now (turbo is currently blown). I am not in any way suggesting that i will dd or race this car in its current condition

you'll have to replace the upper plastic pipe to run the bov.

You have to realize how many people buy a supra, up the boost with no supporting mods.
Then a thread pops up wondering why the car is knocking.
It's nothing personal.

There are some thing you shouldn't cheap out on, boost controler being one of them.
It could destroy everything you've worked for.
Personaly I would take it off and just let the wastegate do it's job.

jesse- ya, the intercooler pipe off the 3000 pipe. right??

 

[jessemkiiis]

Yeah the plastic one before the 3000 pipe.
Iirc there called Throttle body pipe on eBay

Whats that red crap wrapped around the boost controller?

 

[jonahs_supra]

no reason to up the boost on a stock car
as everybody else has said the motor wont last long
your going to push more air in then what the stock exhaust can push out
atleast get a bigger/free flowing exhaust and a better fmic setup

devin is right...the venting boost controllers are about as worthless as fat kid in dodge ball
hallman is a great boost controller and is pretty cheap
also there are home depot boost controllers you can make and work just like a hallman mbc

as far as vent your bov into the atmosphere is can cause your engine to stall
every car is different
some people have problems with cars stalling after boost and some do not
my car has a hks ssqv bov thats vented to the atmosphere and my car does not stall
but it does run rich between shifting under hard acceleration and back fires once in a blue moon



you will do more harm in upping the boost in a all stock car
i have all the supporting mods to up my boost buts its still at stock boost level
